Conservative Wiltshire Council told us that its Westbury Bypass was approved. After spending £5M, it went pear-shaped
for never-ready Wiltshire Council. Conservative councillors then blew a UK record £475,000 on re-naming from Wiltshire
County Council to Wiltshire Council (WC). The £millions squandered on WC's rotten eastern bypass vanity project could
have repaired Wiltshire's pot-holed existing roads. Conservative Wiltshire Council's Big Society: do it yourselves and
also pay council tax.

Wiltshire Council's eastern bypass project was scrutinised in a
Public Inquiry, which recommended
refusal of planning permission. The scheme's rejection was endorsed by the Government. The dud
eastern road project is now dead.

This website reflects the genuine local opinion about a solution at Westbury. In the last survey ever arranged by
Wiltshire (County) Council, up to 79% of Westbury area residents with a view were opposed to the eastern route.
As few as 21% were in favour of the so-called 'preferred' eastern bypass scheme. Read our summarised factual analysis of the
Westbury Bypass Opinion Survey.
Overwhelmingly, 75% of the local public response wanted a western solution.

Who would have honestly wanted an A350 HGV highway to be built here?

This is a view of where the unpopular eastern road was actually routed.
